Temping buddies 12- What's all the Broo-har with Hoo-Har temping? BFP's please!

[Squack]

Herby glad to hear your scan went well

Still not a particularly high temp from me today, although higher than yesterday. Looking at my chart, I'm wondering whether my CD12 temp is an outlier because I had a few drinks the night before. Even so, it's not looking very dramatic

Any news from anyone today?

Morning

Congrats on your scan and heartbeat, Herby that's wonderful news!!

Yarnie - judging by your chart it doesn't look like you've ov'd yet. Even if you took that 'drinking' temp into consideration, it wouldnt' make any difference. Hoping your egg comes soon!

well, bad news from me today - I started spotting this morning. I was excited because my temp was a bit higher this morning, but by the time I got into work, there was a brownish pinkish tinge on the paper. This is how it started last month. You wouldn't notice if you weren't looking for it, but of course, I was looking for it! Also, if I check my CM at the cervix it doesn't look like anything is on it, but when I wipe my fingers on the tp, there's pinkish. If I ovulated on CD20, then I'm really in trouble. But if it was CD18 then I'm exactly where I was last month, and at least my progesterone test was taken at the right time. Also, it means, assuming I ovulate at CD18 again next month, we have a half way decent shot at getting enough GOFing in before I go to New York sigh I'm really depressed this morning.

LBOT Sorry to hear about the spotting. How are things looking this morning?

Lottie at the timing of your work. Maybe you and your OH can squeeze in a little trip to Edinburgh during the festival for a bit of jollity and insemination action ?

Finally a post-ov temp from me(!) I still can't work out whether I just had a slow rise this month or whether I ov'd late. I'm inclined to think the former as it would be unusual for me to deviate from ovulating on CD13. I guess I'll find out when AF does/doesn't show up after my usual LP.

I'm off to the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park today to see 2 of my musical idols - Morrissey and Beck. And have an indulgent picnic !

Morning everyone

Lottie Maybe only having a couple of days together is a good thing - his contribution will be nice and concentrated and maybe you'll make the most of your time together. Good luck!

Yarnie I think you ov'd yesterday. Your making dinner for 40 people could've stressed you out more than you thought and caused you to ov late?

My temp is higher and the spotting a little fainter this morning, but I'm not holding out much hope. In fact, I'm trying not to think about it all. I did a chart overlay this morning and my temp today is lower than last month on the same day, but higher than the month I got pregnant - just made me realize how little it all matters!

Lottie Definitely room for one more! Get yourself a ticket and come along! There's space on the picnic rug!

LBOT You may be right about ov. I was working hard in the garden (proper manual labour) the day or two before the party, too. So I guess all of that could delay ov. You and Lottie are so right about the temps. At the end of the day, we're either pg or not. No amount of analysis will change that!

Very true, Yarnie! My overly analytical mind has a hard time with the concept of not being in control...but I guess it'll have to get used to it.

And, Oh, Lottie! Talk about overlay obsessed Picture this - this month I had 3 possible ov dates, and 7 charts to compare - How many overlays can I possibly do?!?! Totally sounds like a word problem from high school math!

Anyway spotting seems to be gone... I'm not sure it could even be considered spotting this morning, just a bit of a brownish tinge on the TP. And right now everything is a bit yellow down there (sorry TMI!) because of the amount of vitamins I'm taking (they make my pee BRIGHT yellow!), so it's a bit hard to tell. And lately, my skin has been feeling super hot. I'm always always cold, so this is weird. A couple of times earlier in the week, my cheeks were really flushed. Today they're really hot as are my upper arms Oh, god, I sound like a total nutcase! That's it! No more symptom spotting for me!!!!

We're going to Wahaca tonight - it's Tommy whatsherface, Masterchef winner's Mexican restaurant in Covent Garden and I'm having a margarita - or 7 - and not thinking about it at all!

Okay, I hereby vow that starting right now, I will not stick my fingers up my hoo har post ov confirmation! I think I might actually be making myself spot! Anyway, it's still so light and on and off that I don't feel so bad about it. If it continues like this through tomorrow, I will be over the moon actually as it means I retain my 10 day LP. Fingers crossed AF holds off until Sunday!

Have a good night girls! hope you enjoyed the Fest if you went!

Hello all. Have only just managed to get on here. My temp is up to 36.72 this morning - although I took it a half hour late and had a little to drink yesterday, but I don't think it's enough to fudge my temp. Usually I only see a temp hike if I actually had enough to feel blatantly drunk (not even a little tipsy) and last night I was neither. I have rummaged a little Lottie, but nothing really, plus I was a really bad girl and took a test this morning BFN of course I have zero will power too I guess! So there could be a few different scenarios...either I really did ovulate on CD20 (I've been going by CD18 on my chart) and I'm only 8dpo - which wouldn't explain the spotting at 6dpo - or I ovulated on CD18, and my progesterone level is higher than last month but still struggling a little and AF will arrive tomorrow. Who knows!

Anyway, sorry for all the ME ME ME posts lately, I'm just really confused!

So, how are you guys doing? {{hugs}}

Hi All,

Sorry I have been so quiet for the last few days- it has been a killer week at work. Perfect excuse to do NOTHING all weekend!

lastbox sorry about AF - hope you are doing OK...

Evening ladies, I'm just recovering from watching the epic Wimbledon men's final (and v pleased that Nadal won...)

LBOT Sorry to hear about your spotting - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, you never know... I've also had a peek at your chart and it looks to me like you definitely ov'd on CD18 so even if af arrives today that means your LP has risen to 11 which is a good thing isn't it?

Yarnie hope Moz was on good form for you. I can't believe it's a year since I saw the White Stripes at Wireless - seems like a couple of months ago!

Big to everyone else.

Hello girls... hope all is well with all. Sorry to see AF appearing LBOT but as MMsays your LP has lengthened which is good. Hope you are feeling okay!
Lottie hope you have got over your stressful ov weekend - typical really that when you both need each other to be in top form and oblige and enjoy?! you end up arguing about just "stuff" grrrr
Nappy I see you are here - how is /was the clomid any effects - what has the consultant said going forward ?
Yarnie hope you have had a more relaxing weekend with all your baking from last weekend..

Anyway for me I am on cd9 and obviously couldn't resist temping from about cd10... haven't added myself to the list as away alot during the summer so wouldn't be filling in my details.... but I am still popping in every now and again... any snoops on my chart is also fine - no thoughts or feelings about it at all except its bound not to happen - again! Am just very emotional though which not sure if thats normal or not - was crying my eyes out with joy over Nadal winning!
Anyway hello to all - and will let you know the good/bad news in a few days you never know... ever the optimistic! x

oops meant to say I am 9DPO not cd9 - duh!!!

Morning all. Apologies for my absence. It's been a full weekend to say the least.

LBOT Sorry to hear TEW got you, but as others have said, you got a nice looking LP out of it.

Minxi Nice to "see" you. We'll monitor your progress with interest, as always

Lottie Glad to hear you're feeling positive about IVF. I expect if you've had a long run at ttc the usual way with no joy, the decision to go down the assisted conception route must feel a little bit like you're wresting control back. With your PMA, you'll probably be up the duff before your first appointment

NotSoNew Hope you had a nice relaxing weekend and don't have the Monday morning blues.

Wasn't the tennis brilliant?! I really wanted Federer to win, but the match was so absorbing I didn't really care by the end of it. They were both so good. I had my heart in my mouth for most of it!

The festival on Friday was fabulous. Beck was wonderful, as always, although sporting his retro-grunge look, so not as pretty as usual. Mozz was on excellent form, moaning about Kylie being on the honours list for services to music! Stand out act for me were the Guillemots, though. I've always had a passing interest in their stuff but they are incredible live. Highly recommended.

In other news, we have a lodger moving in with us in about a week, so we have spent all weekend clearing out the spare room and trying to absorb all the crap that was in there into the rest of the house. The lodger will only be staying for a few months (the rent will be a big help) and it's worth it just because it's forced us to sort out the spare room!

FF has given me a "I think you ovulated on..." line for CD15 so I am allegedly 4 dpo. My temps this cycle are quite a bit lower than my last. I was only just above my coverline today. I had a tiny bit of light pink spotting yesterday (def. not implantation as far too early). I hadn't been rummaging and had not BD yesterday or the day before. Wondering whether I should just put it down to one of those things, or see my GP. Any thoughts?

Sorry for the extended entry!

Lottie So sorry to hear that you were upset over the weekend I think forewarned is forearmed with these sorts of things, so even if you decide to use the NHS you know you'll have to be a squeaky wheel to get the oil. The most important thing is you're doing lots of research, so you can make the decision that's right for you

I'm so pleased you think I ov'd on CD13, because I think so too. It's my usual day and I'm fairly sure I had EWCM then and some ov pain. I guess I'll know when my AF turns up on schedule, or not.

Morning all.

Ah, the saga continues. I wish someone could tell me what was going on with my body! So woke up at 4:50am and couldn't fall back to sleep immediately, so I took my temp - 36.52, two hours earlier than I normally take it! Didn't manage to fall back to sleep but went to the bathroom, and went to go sleep on the sofa. Had about 20-30 minutes of sleep and took temp again (just for fun of course - funny I seem to remember chastising Lottie for doing the same thing the 2ww makes you crazy!!!) and it was 36.26! and then again a little while later 36.39! Anyway, I know that those temps are irrelevant, so put the 5am one in - and temp adjusted for the sake of a pretty chart Spotting is heavier today, but again doesn't actually make it to the pad, only when I wipe. I remember the days when I used to stick a tampon in at the merest sight of blood, now I need to 'examine' everything! Anyway, my gut feeling is I'm out, but I wish I understood when exactly I ovulated. The pattern and temp rise leading up to CD20 doesn't make any sense to me based on previous cycles. CD18 seems so much more plausible, and to be honest, if I didn't use OPK's this month, I would've totally taken CD18 as a given. Even if I had just got one positive OPK and stopped like the instructions tell you to, I would've accepted CD18. Oh, well, I guess I'll never know.

Yarnie Had a look at your chart and I think I actually agree with FF. After CD15, there seems to be a clear second level of temps. But judging by my own mess of a chart, I'm not so sure I'd listen to anything I have to say

Lottie Glad the prospect of IVF is giving you some renewed hope! {{hugs}} Even though I'm insanely disorganised about things I'm not so interested in dealing with on a daily basis (ie house, work, etc) I find that being organised about the things I really care about makes me really happy - I guess it's about control and moving forward. So I can totally understand where you're coming from.

Oooh, fingers crossed for you Minxi! We anxiously await your return!

MM Thanks for taking a look at my chart! If other people think I ov'd on CD18 too it makes me feel a bit better!

Hi notsonew hope you're well!

So glad to see all of you here this morning after my weekend of ranting all by myself!

Hi all,

I am back - work is calmer (or should I say - the boss is away!). My temps are looking predictably boring but I should be ovulating in the next 2 - 3 days. I have had very little EWCM this month....so who knows!!

The tennis yesterday was fantastic. I was pleased Nadal won - only because I think he is so beautiful (which my DH said was not an valid reason to support him). It was nice to watch some good tennis being played. And I sniffed back a tear when Nadal raced off to hug his parents when he won.

lottie it is great that planning your next steps are motivating you - I am similar...having something to plan & investigate can be great for keeping busy and for 'getting my head' around a big issue. Good luck! How did the 'first' phonecall go?

yarnie The festival sounds great!! Good luck with the lodger. Is it someone you know already? A little extra cash is always helpful!

lastbox Your spotting and temps do sound confusing. Did you have those prog tests done at your GP? When do you get results? Do you think that it will help you get any insight into what is happening?

Oh....and hello to anyone that I have missed!!

LBOT I used to get spotting before my af about 1-2 days before, since starting accupuncture no spotting, just straight to a light first day...have you thought about alternative medicine - am not pg yet on it but since starting this in March feel much better myself and LP has lengthened and no spotting! hope that helps...
